Starkey's got some abandonment issues which results in him barking when he's on his own so he may not be a good candidate for an apartment. When he's around people, though, what a charmer. I know there are lots of condo/apartment dwellers who need a more quiet dog but still, I'm surprised Starkey hasn't been adopted yet by someone who doesn't have to deal with sensitive neighbours.
The best way to check on the adoption status of this dog (and other dogs and cats and other small domestic animals) is to visit
Toronto Animal Services adoption website or call 416 338 6668 for the Toronto Animal Services South shelter. If the dog is no longer on the TAS adoption website, it's probably because it's been adopted already.
Gorgeous fellow. looks as if he is waiting to "shake a paw" with some loving new owner in that last photograph. And my once noisy cattle dog now barks for good reasons only (at least good in his mind!) Good luck Starkey
ReplyDeleteI think Starkey might be a Schipperke, from his looks and your description of his temperment. They do have some behavioural issues, so it would be good if TAS was aware of that, in Starkey's best interests!
ReplyDeleteHe is just adorable - i saw him on Animal House Calls this past Tues. after his makeover. What a cutie pie! The groomer said he was excellent with them.
